"I don't have a brother…" Brendan mutters, wrenching his hand away from this man who is claiming such preposterous things and he can see Cheryl looking at him out of the corner of his eye, can see Steven gawping in shock and this man is just shaking his head and telling Brendan it's true, telling him things he can't possibly believe, saying how he has to believe him because this entire thing is the truth.
Steven walks in front of him slightly, looking straight into this Quinn's face and then he's looking back at Brendan, searching his eyes and Steven's mouth drops, hanging open as he points from Brendan to Quinn. "You… Brendan look." He points back to Quinn's face and Brendan does look, takes in his dark hair and pale complexion and the rough stubble on his cheeks and he finally sees it, he sees their similarities. "You look so… so… the same…" Steven mumbles and Quinn nods his head, looking at Brendan with a strange look in his eyes and Brendan stares back.
"You're my brother…" Brendan mumbles, frowning slightly because he can't get his head around it, how can this stranger – this man – be his brother? How can he not know about him? Is he his mum's son or his dad's son and – God forbid – is he both of theirs? The secret son that they got rid of and if they did, why? There are so many questions that need answering and Brendan wants them answered right now but first; first he needs to make sure this isn't a trick. "Do you have proof?"
Quinn pulls out a piece of paper from his back pocket, hands it to Brendan and when Brendan reads it, his eyes instantly widen. It's a DNA test, saying Seamus is Quinn's biological father and attached is a note, signed Mary O'Connell – Quinn's mother.
Dear Brendan Brady and Cheryl Brady,
If you are reading this then it appears you have found out about Quinn, yes, he is you are biological siblings. Me and your father, Seamus, had an affair and Quinn is the outcome. This is the only proof you need, farewell, Mary.
It's blunt and to the point and all Brendan can do is stare at his… his brother as Cheryl comes walking over. "What's going on?" She demands and Steven tells her, Brendan is too lost for words and the only thing he can do – the only thing he can think about doing is shoving the papers into Cheryl's hand, grabbing Steven and walking out of the club, running away from this fucked up situation.
–OXO–
"What did you do that for?!" Steven shouts as soon as they walk through the door, the drive back to the flat had been in silence; Steven looking up at him every now and then just to see how Brendan was but he had kept his face sober, hiding any emotion he felt inside.
The thing is, he felt nothing.
He looked at those papers, the proof in black and white and how was he supposed to feel? Instant love for this stranger that he just happens to be related to? No. He couldn't feel anything because he doesn't know Quinn, Brendan can already see how Cheryl; reacted – pulling Quinn into her arms and crying and he knows they are probably chatting away right now, catching up on all the time they've missed and Brendan's not ready for that. He's only just got Steven back.
"It was just so much to take in… I'm sure Cheryl we have his number by now… I'll call him when I'm ready." Brendan walks over to the kitchen side, grabbing a bottle of whisky before slumping down on the sofa; Steven follows straight after him and immediately curling into his side before taking Brendan's whisky, drinking out of the bottle and smirking.
"Okay… I just… he's your brother." Steven breathes out a disbelieving laugh and grins up at him before kissing Brendan deeply, turning around so he's straddling him and Steven drinks again before tipping Brendan's head back and sharing it with him, transferring the amber liquid into each-others mouths and then tongues are added and dicks are being groped as clothes are pulled off and when they are both naked, Brendan pushes Steven over so he's lying on the sofa, looking up at Brendan and when he crawls on top of him, they both smile into each other's mouths.
"How do you want this?" Brendan whispers as he moves his hand up and down Steven's side slowly, feeling the skin goose bump underneath and how Steven shivers and Steven puts a hand on the back of Brendan's neck, pulls him towards him until their foreheads are pressed together and the Steven's lips are there, whispering against Brendan's mouth.
"I want it like this… just us, this close. I want you to show me how much you love me…" Brendan nods and sucks two fingers quickly before moving them down, circling Steven's hole before pushing in and the other man is prepared within minutes, opening up so Brendan can slip his cock inside and they're panting into each other's mouths, locking eyes and smiling and it's so slow; dragging the pleasure out of each other until they're breathless and Brendan doesn't even need to pump Steven's dick to make him come, he explodes simply because Brendan's inside him and then, a few seconds after, Brendan follows.
…
"Don't you ever think about what I've done?" They're drunk, so drunk now and they're lounging in the bed and Steven is blinking up at him, tears in his eyes and a frown on his face and they've been silent for ages, it's obvious Steven was thinking.
"About… my dad?" Brendan whispers, shuffling down the bed so he can look Steven in the eyes and Steven nods, a single tear slipping down his cheek and Brendan cups his cheeks, stroking the tear away before kissing Steven lightly. "Don't think about that, okay?" He says, but Steven still looks like he's not there, like he's back in that place and Brendan won't have it – doesn't want Steven feeling like that. "Listen, we'll talk about it tomorrow, okay?" Steven nods and Brendan kisses him again before tugging Steven closer and smiling. He watches Steven fall asleep that night and when he falls asleep himself, he's dreading the talk they are going to have the next morning.
The only thing is, when Brendan wakes up, Steven is gone and his savings – the ones he brought with him – are missing too.
